501-1733



SPARCstation 10 motherboard

 Up to two Mbus modules.  16.6/20MHz (model 20) or 18/20MHz SBus.

 SPARCstation 10 motherboards come in three fab versions, 270-1733-12 and
  270-1733-13 (501-1733/2259/2274), and 270-1733-14 (501-2365), each with minor
  layout differences from the others.  Additionally, the 501-2274 part for the
  model 20 is clocked at a different speed.

 From left to right, the rear edge of the board has: ISDN NT and TE connectors;
  a parallel/audio/AUI Ethernet connector; a keyboard connector; a serial port
  connector (ports A and B in the same connector); a 10BaseT Ethernet
  connector; and a 50-pin SCSI-2 connector.

 Connector pinouts and form factors are not known.

 Memory is in the form of up to eight 16M (501-1785 or 501-2273) or 64M
  (501-1930) 70ns SIMMs. They must be installed in the order shown:

  Nearest SBus connectors

  J201 --------------------- (1)  0x00000000-0x03FFFFFF
  J202 --------------------- (8)  0x10000000-0x13FFFFFF
  J203 --------------------- (3)  0x04000000-0x07FFFFFF
  J301 --------------------- (6)  0x14000000-0x17FFFFFF
  J302 --------------------- (4)  0x08000000-0x0BFFFFFF
  J303 --------------------- (5)  0x18000000-0x1BFFFFFF
  J304 --------------------- (2)  0x0C000000-0x0FFFFFFF
  J305 --------------------- (7)  0x1C000000-0x1FFFFFFF

  This would appear to mean that when using 16M SIMMs, memory is not physically
   contiguous, and that 16M and 64M SIMMs can be installed in any mixture.

 There are a variety of jumpers. All locations are given with component side
  up and connector side toward you.

 Additional features of interest: the boot PROM is in the near right at
  location U1005.  The NVRAM/TOD/ID chip is beyond the boot PROM, at location
  U1004.  The power connector is in the far left corner and the floppy and
  internal SCSI connector is in the far right corner.  The speaker fuse F1302,
  Ethernet fuse F1301, and keyboard fuse F0801 are in a row along the middle
  near edge.  The SCSI fuse F1502 is in the far right corner near the SCSI
  connector.  The +12V fuse F1501 is in the middle left edge.  All fuses are
  nonreplaceable PTC devices.  In the nearish left is a large square chip, the
  MSI.  For 270-1733-12 and -13, it may be either 100-2905-02 (L1A6396) or
  100-2905-03 (L1B7596).  For 270-1733-14, it is always 100-2905-03 (L1B7596).

 Note that the 270-1733-14 fab has BABT approval for ISDN and X.25 use in the
  UK.

 Note that boot PROM version 2.12 is required to install two 501-2358 SM40 Mbus
  modules.

 Note that when adding a second Mbus module, any internal disk drives with PTC
  protection should have the TERMPWR option disabled. Otherwise, the power
  supply overcurrent protection may be tripped when powering up.

 Note that the GT and ZX options are not supported on boards with MSI
  100-2905-02 (LSI Logic L1A6396). They are only supported on board with MSI
  100-2905-03 (LSI Logic L1B7596).

 When installing internal SCSI disk drives, disable the TERMPWR option.  SCSI
  bus TERMPWR is grounded on internal cable 530-1874-02.  If TERMPWR is not
  disabled on drives with PTC protection, the power supply overcurrent
  protection may be tripped when powering up.  If TERMPWR is not disabled on
  drives with fuse protection, the fuses will blow.  TERMPWR on the internal
  SCSI bus is not connected to TERMPWR on the external SCSI bus.  Additionally,
  the inner surface of the SS10 chassis is conductive, so drives must be
  mounted with insulating hardware.
